Parma, 17 February 2024 - Parma secured a 3-2 win in the 95th minute thanks to a goal from captain, Enrico Delprato. A show of strength and pride and a great performance for a team that was always on top. Benedyczak found the opener in the first half with a splendid volley around the corner (assisted by Delprato) before Valoti equalised. But Pecchia’s men rose to the occasion in the second half: first Man in the 81st minute after Hernani’s ball into the box and Charpentier’s flicked assist. Canestrelli headed in Pisa’s second equaliser of the day in injury time. Delprato found the winner for a team that never gave up and always believed.
Next up is Como away on Saturday 24 February.
